“Hat Trick 2” Blog Tour Wraps Up, First Reviews Are 5-Star!

The Hat Trick 2 Blog Tour has been a blast. I’ve enjoyed talking readers at the different stops and giving everyone a sample of Simon & Alex. There’s been some good discussion about love, libraries and inspiration along the way too. There’s one last tour stop…

TODAY’S (LAST) TOUR STOP:I’m over at Prism Book Alliance talking about HT2 and GayRomLit, which is coming up in October. I love going to GRL and this is the first year I’ll be there as an author and it’s going to be a blast. Besides an exclusive excerpt, I’ve also got a copy of either HT or HT2 in ebook format for a lucky commenter.

In case you missed any of the tour stops, you can see them listed at the bottom of the post.

5-STAR REVIEWSIn addition to the blog tour, it’s been great seeing the positive response HT2’s received in some of the early reviews. Here’s a sampling:

Jason at Joyfully Jay (technically 4.75 stars, but I’m rounding up): “The story of Simon and Alex was compelling and well thought out, had good depth and characters that I could relate to, even if I am not a hockey fan. … A definite must read series, in my opinion.”

jonboy on Amazon.com: “This is a really well written and befitting second novel in the series. Love is in the air!”

Yankee Doodle on Amazon.com: “I had been looking forward to reading ‘Hat Trick 2’ since finishing the first ‘Hat Trick’ book earlier this year. After the wait, I was not disappointed.”

I also have to show off a comment that was posted on Facebook from Cassandra Carr, an author whose books I enjoy (see my review of See the Light over on PuckBuddys…I’ve just finished it’s wonderful sequel too and will be talking about it son):

Thanks, Cassandra. It means a lot to know that I’ve left an impression. I hope I live up to it when you read HT2.
